Ernie over at General-Yo has given back in a way that makes me even more proud to be a part of this community. He recently shipped off three yo-yos to a soldier in Afghanistan as a way of showing gratitude for everything that the soldier has done for this country. What they sent him in return would bring anyone in this country to tears. Great job Ernie, Brett and I are proud to call you a friend.

Amazing, I just love how Even if these YoYos are menial to most, It brings much Joy to the Ones Who need it and Matter Most. Great Job Ernie and General Yo, I’m sure there’s no better feeling then to make a Soldier Who Needed a Smile Happy.

As an Air Force member myself, I can honestly say this is one of the coolest things I’ve seen. I’m sure this gesture will never be forgotten – Thanks Earnie!
